BOINC project, University of California, Berkeley

BOINC is the leading middleware system for volunteer computing (i.e., scientific computing using volunteered home computers). It is used by over 50 volunteer computing projects, including Einstein@home, SETI@home, Rosetta@home, Climateprediction.net, IBM World Community Grid, and LHC@home (CERN).

Projects

BOINC on Android
A well-ported BOINC client for Android-powered devices could vastly increase the participating systems.
I am proposing to work on porting the current BOINCclient - written in C++ - to Android using the Android NDK and developing a GUI and variable usage model.
